Abstract :
[en] Moral decisions in video games have become increasingly popular. This work in progress project applies established theories on mediated morality (e.g., MIME; Tamborini, 2011) to the cutting-edge video game Detroit: Become Human. The in the game implemented feature of displaying world statistics provides valuable information on how players engage in meaningful moral decision within a virtual world. Statistics will be aggregated and analyzed in relation to the available decision time span, the involved characters and different moral foundations.
